How to Make a Magazine Holder Out of a Cereal Box. There’s more than one prize at the
bottom of that cereal box. This empty cardboard container is an easy way to store your old
magazines. You will need A cereal box Scissors Glue Colored paper (optional) Craft paints
(optional) and a brush (optional). Step 1. Remove the top flaps from the cereal box.
Step 2. Cut the box from one of the top corners down the wide side of the box at a 45-degree
angle down to the opposite narrow side Step 3. Cut straight across the narrow side. This
will leave part of the narrow panel in place to be a backstop for your magazines. If you
own magazines that are wider across the cover than your cereal box, the entire side panel
can be removed so that they fit inside. Step 4. Cut upward along the other wide side at
a 45-degree angle until you reach the top corner opposite where you started. Step 5.
Fill the box with your magazines. For easy reference and retrieval, place them spine
outward and alphabetize them or order them by publication date. If you want to make the
holder craftier – and hide what you eat for breakfast – decorate the outside of
the box with colored paper or craft paints. Step 6. Place the magazine holder on a bookshelf,
desk, or coffee table. It works so well, you might start buying cereal just for the box.

Pow. The Pow character was retired, leaving only the trio we know today.
